How to change your name legally in India? (3 easy steps)

I am a lawyer by profession, and have followed the below given procedure for changing my own name. Let me use my experience to help you to change your own name.

Follow the below given steps for changing your own name.

Step 1 – Affidavit

Go to you local Notary and make an affidavit regarding change of your name. You have to mention therein your specific reason for changing your name. For example, you may like to change your name after marriage (especially for women), due to astrological or numerological reasons or anything. Recently, one of my friends was going to start his own company who was locally famous in his nickname, and thus he changed his name from Rishabh Agarwal to Saurav Agarwal.

Note: Here is your sample name change affidavit for reference.
Tips: Make a few copies of your affidavit, and preserve the original one carefully. It’s better to scan it, and preserve its electronic copy on your external hard disk as well as on multiple computers.

This affidavit can be used for changing your first or last name and also using the same, you can completely change your name (both first and last name, for example from Rishabh Agarwal to Saurav Verma).

Step 2 – Newspaper Publication

I, Sri ___________________ (old name) have changed my name from __________________ (old name) to ______________ (new name) by affidavit sworn before the Notary Public, ______________ (place) on ___________ (date). Henceforth, I shall be known as _________________ (New Name) for all purposes. ______________ (Name) and _______________ (Complete postal address).

Full Signature

Fill in the blanks with appropriate details and publish it in your local newspaper.

Tips:

You can choose any 2 local newspapers for publishing it. (No need for FrontPage coverage). Although you need only once copy but its better to get ten copies of that newspaper in which your statement is published and preserve it carefully, because it’s now a lifetime issue. It’s better to preserve both the hard and scanned copies of the newspaper.

Step 3 – Gazette Notification

Now for getting your name published in the Official Gazette of your state, for example: “The Delhi Gazette”, you need to do the following things:
1. Visit your local Government Press or the department that mobilizes Gazette notification.

2. Get 2 copies of “Deed Changing Surname Form”. (Fill this form carefully as per the instructions provided therein)

3. If possible get the phone number, or the mobile number of the person of that department who can help you for Gazette Notification.

Verification

You need to send the following documents to the Secretary, Department of Commerce & Transport (Commerce), _________________ (State).

Letter to the Secretary, requesting him to allow you to change your name. (Click here to view sample letter)

The “Deed Changing Surname Form”

2 True copies of the newspapers in which your name change statement is published.

Attested copy of the Name Change Affidavit.

A print out of the statement in plain paper that you need to publish in your official Gazette. (Generally Same as your Newspaper Statement)

A Copy of your current identity like your Voter Identity Card, PAN Card, Birth Certificate, School or College Certificates and etc.

Tips:

Get an A4 size envelope, put the above mentioned documents in it, and send it to the above Secretary, Department of Commerce & Transport (Commerce), _________________ (State).

Make copies of everything and preserve them both in hard and electronic formats, for future reference.

Within a week, after due verification, you will get a reply letter from Secretary, Department of Commerce & Transport (Commerce), _________________ (State). Click here to view sample reply letter that was sent to me.

Make a few copies of the reply letter and again visit the Govt. Press or the department that mobilizes Gazette Notification and follow the below given instructions.

Show them the reply letter, and they will match it with the order than they have received from the Secretariat (of your state).

Deposit the required amount for the publication. Here the amount depends on the kind of publication you want to go to (General and Extraordinary.). If you go for the extraordinary one, you can get the copies of the publication within a week or two.

Note

Once your statement is published in the official Gazette, you name change process comes to an end, and now you can enjoy your new name. Congrats!!!

Tips: Make a few copies of the Gazette Notification and carefully preserve it for a lifetime.

The best and easy way is to get the Aadhar Card in the name as you wish! Because your finger print number is unique and it never changes. Introduction of this Adhar card changes has almost sidelined the process of getting tedious state gazette notifications. While you just need to keep a notary affidavit and newspaper record, that’s all….!

What if I want to change my name from Elisha Joy Mackal to EJ Mackal? EJ standing for Elisha Joy…. I meant just putting initials… Do we have to do that too legally or we can do that without any legal procedure?

Congrats and thanks for sharing the procedure.
I have few questions?
1. How much time this process takes?
2. I’m not worried about Educational certificates as there is no need to change name there. but I guess we have to further follow for change in name in voter id, adhar, passport.
Please advice.

Name can be easily changed on cards e.g. voter, dl, passport but its very hard to change names on your school/college certificates… but even if you won’t able to change names on these certificates it won’t create any problem. Along with your school-certificates you will always need to provide the name-change affidavit, and gazette notification.

I need some clarification from your side. My old name was Beauti Kuamri and I have made it Ishita Barnwal. But my advocate has written in affidavit that I will be known for both the name. He has told me if I change my name completely, form Beauti ot ishita then I need to change in all the documents and because of that He mentioned in affidavit that From date …. henceforth I will be known from both the name Beauti Kuamri as well Ishita Barnwal… I am not ok with this process that two name will be acceptable or not. He has taken 1000 rs as well for name change and now according to affidavit m known by these two name. Is this process ok…

This process is okay, but with this process you may not change your name on your identity cards. You can change your name completely. You have to create a new affidavit before Notary Public or Before the Executive Magistrate, that I have changed my name completely… with newspaper publication and official gazette publication you can update your identity cards…

I also don,t have surname in all my academic documents and I also have passport with only single name but I heard that if you are looking for higher study in abroad so problem will come at the time of visa. Some countries create problem due to only single name. So I am trying to add my surname in all my documents and passport also.For this I have contact to passport office so they are saying make a affidavit and publish in two news papers and submit affidavit and newspaper cutting your name will change. so in this only two steps are covered so what about third step. other side when I asked from any layer they are saying make a affidavit and submitted to gazette office and your name will change. please help me out which one is correct and best way to follow to add my surname so that in future I will not face any problem.

My name was Arpita Sarkar before my marriage and after marriage I changed it Arpita Sarkar Goon by making an affidavit. Now my new passport, Pan Card and all the bank documents are having my new name as Arpita Sarkar Goon, but while applying for Voters Card they are telling me that this is not possible I should have kept my maiden name Sarkar in braces after Goon. So it should be Arpita Goon (Sarkar). Is it true? Can’t I keep my name the way I did?And the way it is appearing in all the other document.
Kindly reply.

Dear Sir,

His name is Aviral and want to add Singh to it … now I have sworn an affidavit for same and got this published in two news papers also.

I’m confused that how is it possible when the adding of last name has taken place now? Kindly guide on this.

I have been married for last 6 yrs, but retained my maiden name in all my documents. Moreover last year my husband changed his prevailing surname to his forefather’s surname- affidavit was done and accordingly newspaper ads published. Also as last year my son was born, so accordingly in his birth certificate, my husband’s and thereby my surname was as per the new surname.
Now my husband has applied for change of surname in his passport and I’m also planning to apply for name change in my passport.
But as I found for documents required for name change due to marriage- marriage certificate/affidavit to be submitted, so in marriage certificate my husband’s old surname is present. Is there any way to change that?
Also, will it be a problem in future if I retain my maiden surname in all documents including passport with spouse name mentioned, but in my son’s birth certificate it shows my name as maiden name plus husband’s surname?

In addition to my previous queries, I and my husband jointly own a flat and in our purchase agreement and therefore all property/ Assessment tax related papers are carrying my husband’s old surname. Also our home loan has the documents carrying old surname.

Sir, my mother who is about 76 yrs ( married in 1957), acquired a plot in 1975 and my father got house constructed on it by his income. My mother is a house wife and the property was acquired by her late father in her maiden name . Her first name was changed at a later stage without following the procedure of any affidavit etc. Her passport and bank account are having her changed name. Now she is selling that house property (and the sale deed is to be executed in mid June , 2014) , which is in her maiden name( though acquired after 17 yrs of marriage) . What to do now so that she may have just one names to avoid the probable issues arising out of her two names? Can she change her name in the property records now before executing the sale deed ? She has to apply for a pan card for the sale transaction of the property . Further , the proceeds of sale has be deposited in a bank account but she is having account in her new name. How to tackle this issue? Can she continue with two names ? Kindly suggest . My email I’d is [email protected] gmail.com & phone no is 09810371818. Regards

My name is Sreekar and it is the same printed on all of my educational certificates. However during my initial stages of my career due to my innocence, while applying for PAN card, i filled my name as “Sreekar Nair” and it got printed with the same name. At a later point of time I bought a flat and at the final moments of registration the housing loan personal told me that the registration can happen only with the name printed on the PAN card. Since it is the final moment of registration, I agreed upon that and so the flat registration happened with the name “Sreekar nair”. This happened 4 years back and now I have cleared the entire home loan amount. I will get the registration documents soon. Now I am very much desperate to change my name in registration documents to the original/correct one (Sreekar). Can you please advise me the needed legal steps to do this.
